This golden jubilee,Is time for rejoicing.We can recall the past in glee,And savor the icing. Half a century,Countless years of strive.On this fiftieth anniversary,We’ve quite a comfortable life. Oh, wouldn’t have succeeded,Without family and friends...

If time is said to healThen why do I still feelThat Earth is no longer spinning,For you, I continue pining?If to Heaven there’s a sure wayNo doubt I’d take it today‘Cos I know that’s where you areAnd you’ll leave the gate ajar.If someone can tell me...

If you give your cooperation,You can get out of this desperation.Have a broader view, you ought,Things aren’t as bad as you thought.Allow me to show you a better side,There isn’t a more reliable guide. Pour out to me every anxiety,Your days will have...

You’re caught,Will be charged in court.Don’t say you’re innocent,At the scene you were present. Knowing you’re guilty,Pointless to make this lengthy.There’s no case to plead,Your involvement, just admit. This suit won’t have interruption,If you give...

You’ve spun me round and round,Even after all these years.Now you’ve left me to drown,In my own tears. Can’t save myself,You’re holding onto my soul,Kept it in a cell,Which is dank and cold.Don’t leave me here,Or I’d die lonely.Remember I was once yo...

Oh, you green-eyed monster,Didn’t like it when you saw me,In a brand new roadster,Thinking, “It can’t be!”I’m telling you in the face,You’re not first-rate.Someone else is in the place,Let’s get this straight.I achieved my goalsBy working throughout...

I’d rather tell you now,Perhaps later we’d row.Going to speak loud and clear,So you don’t wrongly hear. You’ve got an impression,Watched too much television.You’re carrying a false hope,Thinking you can depend on dope. Aren’t yet at the deep end,I be...

No one knows my name,For years, been the same,Perhaps I’ve no standing.Look me straight, none will,Because materially, I’ve nil,And yet I ask for nothing.Ah, already tried my best,Came up short in this contest,Set for me is the last position.It’s not...
